Bass is more a result of your room. I had the kanta 3 in my room and was +10 at 100 hz, flat at 80hz and -10 at 70 hz, -20 at 60 hz and off the screen by 50 hz.. Consider port configuration and how your current speakers reproduce bass to get some idea what to expect frop your next speakers.The electra line I demoed the 1028 and while they sounded pretty special with great recordings, their hi resolution capability came around to bite them with average, early rock recordings. The electra's can be 'the one' if everything else lines up.
They are indeed the Crites Conscala. $2,000 OBO but you have to come get them. They weigh in at 115 lbs each, and I'm taking a hit on them.
The L100's have landed. They sound great and are MUCH more accommodating in my smaller listening area. Thanks for the advice everyone.
Congratulations.

Put them on the stands, if you don't have them already.

 Warm Fuzzies......Anytime I see those speakers, it sends me back to 1978 in a wood paneled living room. Zep,Sabbath and Who records on the floor.

Lowenbrau beer and pizza. Yessir...good times
